The adventure usually starts at the crack of stupid. And by that I mean birdies aren’t even chirping yet. Mom’s van is packed and we have enough food in the cooler to keep us out of restaurants for a good 4 days.
The radio is already tuned in to 70’s XM, we have hot teas in our travel mugs and lots (more…)
It’s September 1984 and Grade 10 has begun! I’m over the awkwardness of Grade 9 and now I have found everything I was looking for. My favourite hairspray, the perfect amount of blonde painted into my long swooped bangs, friends that would remain my besties for years to come and music that would penetrate so deeply into my being it would just become a part of me.
Tonight is the first dance of the year and it still feels (more…)
Yipppeee my new website has been live for about a month now and being “out there” feels so very exciting.
Times are changing and shifting and I want to be in the wave of change, not swimming against the current.
At a glance the on line world can look quite threatening (more…)
I’m sure you may have read by now how passionate I am about helping Dress for Success Toronto through the sales of our 2016 Mother’s Day Bracelets.
Well there is a reason for that and here it is… (more…)
I am all cozy right now in a beautiful little hotel room in Becancour Quebec. I’m sitting down to write with sniffles, the beginning of a sore throat and achy joints. Hmmm…I wonder why? Says me.. AKA Wonder Woman (in my own mind)
Well…I kinda sorta did this to myself!
As you know (more…)
So happy to be back in the blogging game.
It’s been a long time and I’ve had my reasons.
Building the glamjulz website has probably been one of the most soul searching experiences I’ve ever had. Isn’t that crazy?
Apart from my adorable dog Miss Boink… this business, these julz and this website are all my babies!
I have finally crossed the finish line (more…)
So here I am on an incredible adventure with 2 of my favourite travel buddies… Mom and Maggie!
Oh yes… Maggie is a sweet little Monster from our friends at Monster Factory in Toronto. We’ve got her all glammed up and ready for our road trip to the Florida Keys. We still have quite a ways to go to get to the Keys, so there will be a few stops on our way down.
ahem… If you will turn your attention to the right side windows of the glam-mobile, our first stop (more…)
Cruising through the Ontario snow and sleet, accompanied by my Mom as we giggle and sing along with the Elvis Station on XM Satellite radio, peddling my sparkly wares to the funkiest little shops and stopping in to say hi to friends and family… That’s how I spent the month of January.
Even though it’s freezing cold and a little dreary some days, the hope of Spring flowers blooming and birds singing again is what keeps me smiling. It’s such a pleasure to meet with so many of the beautiful boutiques that carry (and want to carry) glamjulz!
Here’s some insight (more…)
Olivia Newton-John and I? Heck, we go waaaaaay back… Waaaaaay back to 1980 to be exact!!
Well… that’s when I was first introduced to her.
She was my first female idol. I strolled out of the movie theatre smiling from ear to ear as I had just been struck by (more…)
WOW!! This month marks 16 years since my first date with Wayne.
Let me take you back to 1997…
…slow fuzzy flashback dissolve here…
… I was living in Oakville with 2 roommates and working in sales for the corporate world. My jewelry business was more of just a side line hobby at this point and I (more…)
